Trump: Fighting Iran's revenge on Iran will leave few

On 2 September, United States President Trump stated in social media that “United States forces are attacking Iranian targets near the Straits of Hormuz. The attack was large and powerful, in response to the deployment by Iran of a mine in the Strait of Hormuz, which is now free of mines and has been completely cleared or detonated, and the firing of eight missiles (all successfully intercepted) on the United States military base in Jordan. If this failed Iranian State retaliates against this totally justified attack, they will be hit more intensely and with greater intensity, but it is not yet the deadliest attack, and the final blow is brewing, with little left to Iran once it is over.”
